Bloys did not seem concerned about portponing some of its signature franschises for a year. He explained: “Everyone wrote last year about how we'd be in trouble without Game of Thrones [at the Emmys] and we did just fine. This is an old story because every year, 'Oh, my God! What is HBO going to do?!' Last year, that was it — we were going to die at the Emmys without Game of Thrones. And we had Westworld, which is coming back this spring. And Big Little Lies and True Detective and Alan Ball has a new show, and Succession and Sharp Objects, which is fantastic. And the Watchmen script is fantastic."
